When you output an image from a

projector at an angle, the image may

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

appear skewed. Eight Keystone

Default DMX Value: 0 = no keystone correction has been

applied. Each corner has an x and a y value that adjust and correct scale of

the projection from any corner toward the image center on that axis.

Keystone Top Right Y DMX value = 170

All other Keystone parameter DMX values = 255

Setting all Keystone X and Y parameters DMX values to zero will place the four corners of the image at the four corners of the projector output. Adjusting keystone x values toward 255 (100%) moves the respective corner x positions horizontally toward the center of that image edge. Adjusting keystone y values toward 255 (100%) causes the respective corner y positions to be moved vertically toward the center of that edge of the image.

Tip: These parameters can also be used to create interesting skewing as a design effect.

Note: DL.3 fixtures have vertical lens shift capability that provides additional keystone control. Engage lens shift with your DMX console in the Control Parameter of the Motion Control fixture type.
